Under contract-accepting backup offers. CUSTOM MULTI-GENERATIONAL, 3 STORY POOL HOME with NO HOA! Located just off the shores of Lake Minnehaha and a mile from the Historic Downtown Clermont, this nostalgic TV family dream home exudes character and craftsmanship. Built to last, by Bill Thomas Construction, this brick home feels solid from top to bottom. The land allowed the builder to create a 2 car garage on the main level and a 2 car tandem garage just off the walk out basement. Perfect for 2 families with a private entrance. The interior is all connected for those just desiring a large home and is move in ready. Yes, a few things scream makeover, but the cleanliness, floor plan and views through the top notch Anderson windows will undoubtedly satisfy the pickiest of buyers! A simplification of the layout…on the first floor double solid wood doors lead into a proper foyer and then the space opens up to a massive great room with cathedral ceilings & tons of windows. You could fit 2 sectionals in this space! The flooring is wood and tile throughout. The kitchen, breakfast nook and dining room give ample space for a new vision or enjoy the tidy, cute update done by the current owners! A centrally located bar area is a fantastic place to set up food and drinks for parties and keeps the area open to the main living area. There’s a balcony overlooking the pool and a large enclosed 12x23 sun room that has been a perfect spot to host home school! A quiet hallway leads to the primary bedroom with ensuite and another ample size bedroom with adjacent full bath. The ensuite is an interesting nod to the time with a sunken tub, walk-in shower and overhead transom windows to enjoy the sky view. Heading upstairs to the “3rd” level, the unique architecture accentuates the surrounding natural beauty of this home. This is the 3rd spacious bedroom and has a 1/2 bath, (a shower could be added). The picturesque views make this a favorite spot to relax! Double doors lead to an interior balcony in case you want to request room service from mom! A centrally located laundry room is just off the kitchen leading to downstairs. An added feature is just how soundproof this home is! You cannot hear anything from the top floors. That is the difference in how they used to build them! The downstairs could be a skating rink around the beautiful double sided wood burning fireplace! What a fantastic space and room to create anything you dream up! A full kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath complete the interior space. The sliding doors open to a screened lanai the spans the back of the home overlooking an uncharacteristically huge salt water pool and spa! The backyard is newly fenced leaving plenty of room for the kids and pets to run & play! Home has a lifetime warranty thru Alpha foundations & one of the HVAC systems was just replaced in 2023. Clermont has all the charm of a Hallmark movie! Enjoy our Historic downtown Clermont activities throughout the year! We have awesome local boutiques, specialty shops and tons of fun festivals year round. Once known as The Gem of the Hills, we have taken on the name “The Choice of Champions” with many world class athletes calling Lake county their home to train and compete in triathlons and water sports! Tons of NEW things coming our way as our town continues to flourish as one of Florida’s top lake towns! Ask me about the Carefree Boat Club! Now you can enjoy the pleasures of boating without the hassles of ownership.
